Photosynthesis
Dr.Kamlesh shah
General Mechanism of Bacterial
Photosynthesis
 Light-harvesting pigments (LHPs) embedded in
membranes capture light energy and transfer it to a
protein-complex called a reaction center
 the energy is converted into excited, low potential
electrons
 electrons are fed into an electron transport chain, where
they "fall" through a series of electron carriers, generating
a proton motive force
 membrane-bound ATPases then use the proton motive
force to make ATP.
Photosynthesis C3 and C4  cycle,  Dr.Kamlesh shah, PSSHDA,KADI
Classification of Photosynthetic Bacteria
 Five photosynthetic groups within domain Bacteria (based
on 16S rRNA)
 Oxygenic Photosynthesis
 Cyanobacteria and prochlorophytes
 Anoxygenic Photosynthesis
 Purple bacteria
 Green sulfur bacteria
 Heliobacteria
 Green gliding bacteria
Oxygenic Photosynthesis
 Occurs in cyanobacteria and prochlorophytes
 Synthesis of carbohydrates results in release of molecular
O2 and removal of CO2 from atmoshphere
 Occurs in lamallae which house thylakoids containing
chlorophyll a/b and phycobilisomes pigments which
gather light energy
 Uses two photosystems (PS):
- PS II- generates a proton-motive force for making ATP
- PS I- generates low potential electrons for reducing
power.
Oxygenic Photosynthesis cont.
Anoxygenic Photosynthesis
 Uses light energy to create organic compounds, and sulfur
or fumarate compounds instead of O2
 Occurs in purple bacteria, green sulfur bacteria, green
gliding bacteria and heliobacteria
 Uses bacteriochlorophyll pigments instead of chlorophyll
 Uses one photosystem (PS I) to generate ATP in cyclic
manner
Anoxygenic Photosynthesis cont.

anoxygenic photosynthesis

The Big Picture
What have we produced so far?
ATP NADPH CO2
provides the
energy
provides high
energy electron
and H+ ions
provides the
carbon and
oxygen
Used to make energy rich sugar molecules
during the light independent reactions!
The Calvin Cycle
(3) CO2 molecules enter
Rubisco attaches the CO2 to RuBP
CARBON FIXATION
6 ATP and 6 NADPH used
REDUCTION
1 G3P molecule produced
Regenerate RuBP
Use 3 more ATP
And boy can plants fix carbon!
What do plants do with the
sugars they make?
most!
Fuel
cellular
respiration
Similarities between
photosynthesis and cellular
respiration
Chemiosmosis Energy Coupling
Examples
Differences between cellular
respiration and photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
In CR electron carriers
bring electrons to the
ETC, and O2 finally
accepts them and is
reduced to H2O.
In photosynthesis H2O
brings electrons to the
ETC and becomes O2, an
electron carrier finally
accepts the electrons.
Differences between cellular
respiration and photosynthesis.
During the Calvin cycle,
CO2 is being reduced into
sugar
CO2
During the Krebs cycle,
sugars are oxidized and
become CO2
Photosynthetic Adaptations
What problems may a plant experience when it is
exposed to arid (dry) conditions?
Dehydration
Elevated O2 levels
in the leaves
Response
Close stomata to
prevent dehydration
Photorespiration Rubisco  an
enzyme that
catalyzes the
addition of
CO2 to RuBP.
O2 competes
with CO2 for
the active site
on Rubisco.

the C3 pathway

Photorespiration  these CO2s

Photorespiration can lead to lower
photosynthetic output by
siphoning carbon from the Calvin
cycle!
They produce less sugar!!!

Turn to your neighbor and discuss
the following questions
1) What factor determines which
reaction below occurs more often? a) The concentration
of rubisco
b) The relative
concentration of
CO2 and O2
c) The concentration
of RuBp
2) This is most similar
to which of the
mechanisms of enzyme
regulation we
discussed earlier in the
semester?
Adaptations to arid climates
A) C4 plants - spatial separation of steps
B) CAM plants - temporal separation of steps

to minimize water loss, and open

pineapples
 At night they store CO2
in organic acids.
